Notes:
One of Canada's finest young Indycar drivers, Greg Moore died as a result of injuries sustained in a terrifying crash during the Marlboro 500, 20th round of the 1999 CART - Championship Auto Racing Teams series held at the California Speedway in Fontana, on 31 October 1999.

The 24-year-old Canadian was a rising star in the Indycar circuit. Greg Moore had won the North American Enduro karting championship in 1990 and in 1992 he won the USAC West Formula Ford 2000 Series at the wheel of a Swift DB6 - Ford. At age 18, he progressed to the Indy Lights series, scoring eight top-ten finishes in 1993. The following year he finished 3rd in points behind Steve Robertson and André Ribeiro, and finally in 1995 he won the Indy Lights title, breaking a record set by Paul Tracy who won 9 of 14 races in 1990, by winning 10 of 12 races in the season. In 1996, he went to CART with Player's Forsythe Racing, finishing 9th in the championship, two-times on the podium and one front-row start, and finished runner-up to Alessandro Zanardi in the Rookie of the Year award. At the age of 22 years, 1 month and 10 days he won the 1997 Milwaukee 200, becoming the youngest driver ever to win a National champ car race, edging Al Unser, Jr. by 19 days. He achieved another win in the next event at Detroit and finished 7th in points. Moore continued to win races in 1998, the Rio 400 at Jacarepaguá, Brazil and at Michigan 500, finishing 4th in the standings.

His fourth year in CART Series started with an impressive victory at Homestead, but his 1999 season soon became problematic due to the Mercedes-Benz engine of his car, less powerful than the dominating Hondas of Juan Pablo Montoya and Dario Franchitti. Greg Moore was 2nd at Milwaukee, 3rd at Detroit and 4th at Motegi, Japan and Road America. In spite of the lack of success in CART, Moore who drove for Player's Forsythe Racing since 1996, signed a three-year contract with Roger Penske to team with Gil de Ferran on Team Penske in 2000 to drive the Penske cars powered by Honda engines. Greg Moore said that at the end of the contract, when he turned 27, he would have been ready for Formula 1. According to Canadian press, Greg Moore, who was extremely popular in his home country, was destined to achieve major status on the Formula 1 scene, following the foot steps of Gilles Villeneuve.

The Marlboro 500 at Fontana was the season-ending CART FedEx Series race. Shortly before the start of Saturday qualifying session at Fontana, Moore got off to a bad start when a girl driving a catering truck delivering flowers hit him on his motor scooter in the paddock area. He broke a bone in the little finger of his right hand that was bandaged and he missed the qualifying session. Later in the evening the organizers asked him to test his condition and he made a six-lap run on the two-mile oval, driving at speed in his Player's Forsythe Racing Reynard 99 – Mercedes #99. Dr. Trammel and Dr. Olvey, CART medical affairs director, allowed him to drive, starting from the last position in the 27-car field. It has not yet been clarified whether the right hand problem was a contributor to the accident of the following day.

On race day Greg Moore's injured hand was examined again. He set the 8th fastest time during morning warm-up. Scott Pruett in a Team Arciero-Wells Reynard 99 – Toyota was in the pole position at a speed of 234.398 mi/h, and Greg Moore’s close friend Max Papis was in the outside of the first row, in a Team Rahal Reynard 99 – Ford. At the start of the 250-lap race, Moore furiously made up for the poor starting position and in the first four laps he quickly moved from 27th to 15th position. On 5th lap Richie Hearns crashed coming off Turn 2 and his Team Della Penna Reynard 98 – Toyota came to rest in the infield, the accident triggered the first caution period of the race. Richie Hearn was not injured and four laps later the green flag was waved again.

Greg was pushing very hard right from the re-start, following Alex Barron’s Penske Pc27B – Mercedes and Adrian Fernandez’ Team Patrick Reynard 99 - Ford. On 10th lap Moore tried to pass them on Turn 1, making it three wide with a move to the very far outside, close to the top retaining wall. His rear right wheel slightly touched the wall and he lost control of his car coming off Turn 2 in virtually the same spot of Richie Hearns’ accident. He tried to save the situation by accelerating but the car skidded onto the infield grass, which started at the edge of the track but was a couple of inches lower. This caused the car to get airborne and flick up sideways, crashing hard at about 210 mi/h into the wall of an access road part way across the grass. The cockpit was crushed and Moore struck his head on the barrier. Then the car flipped and broke into pieces slamming into the ground several times before coming to a halt. A truck carrying the safety crew and an ambulance quickly reached Moore’s car. He was immediately airlifted to Loma Linda Medical Center where about one hour later he was declared dead of massive head injuries, at 13h21 of the same day.

The loudspeaker announced Greg Moore’s death and the flags at the speedway were immediately lowered to half staff. The race was not stopped and Adrian Fernandez eventually was the winner, from Max Papis, second and Christian Fittipaldi in a Team Newman-Haas Swift 009 - Ford, third. With his 4th place, Juan Pablo Montoya in the Ganassi Reynard 99 - Honda won the championship. All four broke into tears during the post-race news conference and CART chief steward Wally Dallenbach canceled post-race celebrations.

Greg Moore was the fourth driver to die in 20-year CART history, the second in 1999 one month and a half after Gonzalo Rodríguez who was killed in a practice crash at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California on 11 September 1999. Jim Hickman lost his life at the Milwaukee Mile in 1982 and Jeff Krosnoff died at the Toronto street course in 1996.

During his career Greg Moore scored five outright wins over 72 champ car races, starting five times from the pole positions. He lived in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, his father Ric Moore was his spotter at team Player's Forsythe Racing. After his death Greg Moore was replaced at Team Penske by Hélio Castroneves.
